MORROCAN SPICED VEGETABLES WITH ORZO

This is a very colorful and versatile dish! It can serve as a side dish but with the addition of shrimp (or tempeh for vegetarians), it makes a great meal served with a salad. You can add or substract vegetables as you like, and kick up the heat with more cayenne if desired.

Preparation

Prepare orzo according to package directions. In the meanwhile, heat 1 Tbl oil in a large heavy bottom pot over medium heat. Add onion, and saute until soft. Add carrots and cook, stirring about 5 minutes. Add red pepper, stirring, another 5 minutes, then add zucchini and cook about three minutes. If vegetables begin to stick at any point, add a little more oil. Add the spices, golden raisins and broth and reduce heat. For a main course, add shrimp or tempeh to the vegetable mixture. Cook about 5 minutes until the spices mellow and the vegetables are tender (and shrimp are done or tempeh is heated through). Serve over the cooked and drained orzo. Garnish with toasted almond slivers or cashews if desired.
